A San Antonio student decided to commemorate his high school career at the place where most of his teen years were spent eating and blessing others with the gift that is fresh, scrumptious burgers — Whataburger.

Mario Ramirez Bortolini is a 19-year-old James Madison High School senior set to graduate with Magna Cum Laude honors on June 4. He marked the occasion last Saturday with the traditional senior photo session.

But, he skipped on the traditional faux bookcase background and instead used his favorite restaurant and workplace as the setting for his photo shoot.

The teen told mySA.com on Friday that he and his photographer, Dawn Thompson, were initially taking pictures around the high school campus when he joked about moving the shoot to Whataburger.

A few minutes later, Bortolini was inside the location where he works, at 17311 Bulverde Road, getting side-eye from customers who watched as he confidently struck poses in the lobby, draped in an orange cap and gown (which perfectly complemented the restaurant decor, we might add.)

"I heard somebody say 'who would take their pictures at Whataburger?'" the soon-to-be grad said with a chuckle.

Regardless of any naysayers, Bortolini continued working the camera, resulting in a series of shots his family, friends, teachers and fellow Texans who share in Whataburger's cult following are loving. His photos have been displayed at the Bulverde location and were featured in a Buzzfeed Community article.

The totally Texas teen has a bright, yet Whataburger-barren future ahead of him in New York, where he will study theater and business at Marymount Manhattan College. He has learned to accept the Lone Star State delicacy will not fuel his all-nighters.

"I've just gotta live with it, man," he quipped. "That's the struggle of life."
